I filed https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T133452 for that a while ago (but then never got around to expand it). It would be technically challenging but would unlock many interesting possibilities, such as proper targeting of welcome messages / warning templates / thanks, blocking anonymous editors without blocking the (possibly shared) IP they use, or the ability to claim recent anonymous edits when you register.
